Amanda Bynes is changing up her look.
The 35-year-old actress posted a video showing that she’s decided to remove the heart tattoo below her left eye ahead of her conservatorship court hearing later this month.
In the clip, the “All That” star takes off her glasses as the camera zooms in to more readily expose the tattoo, already lighter compared to an earlier post.
While she said nothing in the clip, Bynes captioned it simply, "tattoo removal process." The star first debuted the face tat back in 2019.
The ink update comes after she broke her silence on social media for the first time since filing to end her 9-year conservatorship two weeks ago.
The "Hairspray" star created the new Instagram account and sent a message to her fans.
"What's up Instagram. Amanda Bynes here,” the “What a Girl Wants” star said in a selfie video. “My court date is coming up in two weeks. I want to thank you all for your love and support. Peace out."
As Yahoo Entertainment reported, the “What I Like About You” actor has been in a conservatorship for the last nine years, overseen by her mother, Lynn Bynes. It went into effect after Bynes was involuntarily hospitalized in 2013. Bynes later revealed that she'd been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Bynes regained control of her finances in 2017, but is looking to end the conservatorship completely. In February, she filed documents to end the legal arrangement.

Her mother has endorsed the move. "Amanda's mother, Lynn, is so proud of her for all the hard work and progress Amanda has made,” Lynn Bynes’ attorney, Tamar Arminak, told Yahoo. "She supports Amanda’s petition to terminate the conservatorship. Lynn is excited about the next chapter in Amanda's life and being there for Amanda as her mother.”
